Characters:
Lana Mae Hopkins: Lana Mae runs the Wishy-Washy Washateria. She is cheerful, bighearted, and dresses brightly and unapologetically; a real diamond-in -the-rough. She was raised in the rural woods down yonder and speaks in colorful Southern colloquialisms. Her thoughts regarding marriage and love are throwbacks to the 50’s, and she has kept her marriage intact by ignoring all signs of her husband’s philandering. (Mezzo-alto with a strong belt)
Katie Lane Murphy: Katie secures a job working for Lana Mae in the Wishy-Washy and sets out to help her break free from her husband. At the same time, Katie is struggling with her own obsession with her ex-boyfriend, who still figures prominently in her life. Katie is neurotic, obsessive, and quick with her temper. With Lana Mae’s help, Katie learns to open up and face her fears, especially after administering a little self-medication. (Mezzo-Soprano with strong belt)
